The Sonakshi Sinha of " Dabangg" is a far cry from the plump girl that she was till only a year ago. According to reports, Sonakshi was around 30 kgs overweight before she made her big screen debut. Sonam Kapoor too is reported to have been some 90 kgs before she debuted in "Saawariya". From overweight adolescents to fab figure femmes, these actresses exemplify an increasing trend among young girls.
According to obesity consultant and practising dietitian Deepika Bhalla, the frequency with which she comes across such cases of young girls wanting to lose weight is alarming. "Girls who're happy being plump in school suddenly become conscious of their looks when they turn 16 or 18. And since that's the time when their college life also begins, they're at pains to look their best. There is also a great deal of peer pressure to look better than your friends," says Deepika, adding, "And the advantage in these times is that you can lose weight pretty quickly, thanks to all the treatments, diets and advice available in the market."
